Giddyup!


Quick report on my horse riding lessons yesterday:

I rode Frankie, a brown Quarter horse. (who, by the power invested in the barn, is now married to me. Kind of. Hahaha!) It was a stressful ride, really...we did this pattern and Frank was just being trouble. Plus I was already stressed from all the work I've been having to do around the house because my mom can't do it, and, I was hungry and had a headache. Ack! But before the ride, I got some pics of Frank doing the "Flehmen response", in which male horses curl back their upper lip to see if a mare is in heat (ready to mate). It was funny to watch, kind of awkward, but made for an interesting photo!
